This rich and creamy nondairy “cheese” dip is so over-the-moon good you’ll be making it again and again. The bold flavors pair beautifully with salsa. Together they can be served with a side of raw veggies or baked, oil-free tortilla chips for a healthful, crowd-pleasing snack.

My intention while creating the recipes in The Game of Eating Smart was to reach not only the fans of the star MLB players in the book but also the person that may be where I was ten years ago. I was a traditional, high-end chef making food for flavor and presentation with no parameters – my eating habits the same. I was fortunate enough to have made friends with a few people that were living a plant-based lifestyle and happened to plant a seed in me. They had just the right amount of kindness, open-mindedness and knowledge to guide me in a direction that has changed my life in a profound way. Through the players’ personal experiences with food (and life) and well-thought out recipes, I am hopeful that this book can do the same.
